Whether you prefer them sunny-side up, over-easy, or cooked to your liking, these fried eggs are a breakfast staple that never goes out of style.

Serves 2

Ingredients

Eggs
2 large
Butter
1 tablespoon
Salt
to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
to taste
Chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)
1 tablespoon, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Allow it to warm for a minute.
  2. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt completely, swirling it to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
  3. Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet, ensuring not to break the yolks. For best results, crack the eggs into a small bowl first, then gently slide them into the skillet.
  4. Season the eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste.
  5. Cook the eggs for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. You can cover the skillet with a lid to help the tops cook slightly without flipping.
  6. If you prefer over-easy eggs, carefully flip the eggs using a spatula, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the yolks reach your desired doneness.
  7. Once cooked, remove the eggs from the skillet and let them drain briefly on a paper towel.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives or parsley if desired.

Tips

  • 💡 For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of paprika or a dash of hot sauce when seasoning.
  • 💡 Experiment with different fats such as olive oil or bacon grease for a unique taste.
  • 💡 Serve alongside toast, sautéed spinach, or avocado slices for a nutritious breakfast.
